"Are you sleeping?" I asked. I am facing on the other side of the bed and he is just behind me, breathing.

"Still awake." He replied in a low husky tone. I felt goosebumps.

"Ember?" 

"Yes?"

"Can you tell me about your world?" I look at the empty chair in front of me, "I'm just curious." I remembered, I only tell him short descriptions of Earth. 


"Earth is... complicated." I chuckled at the term I used, "It's dying."

"What do you mean dying?"

"Technologies, money, power.. it's getting worse." I sighed. The fact that I hate my world is so sad, "Your world and my world are totally different."

"But it's still your world. No matter how you hate it, it's your home. It connects to your body and soul." I didn't expect him to say such good words. He's so unpredictable.

"I wish I could tour you around Earth." 

"Can Bella come too?" I chuckled. We fell silent after and I heard him sighed. I didn't say anything. I just stare blankly in front of me, unable to sleep.


"Are you sleeping?" I heard him asked. I didn't answer his question, instead I made a body movement indicating that I'm already sleeping, "You're cute." I heard him whispered. I felt my heartbeat is going fast again.


"I am happy." He continued, "So happy. God knows how I prayed for you to stay." I closed my eyes, a tear fell. I sensed him moving, maybe he's going to sleep now. 


"Thank you for coming here in my world, Ember."
